(...) Yes. That will go into the new "-y is up" section. I'm open to suggestions on the exact wording on this section, but I suspect that we can copy from the authors' guide document, which I believe already describes this. --Travis (19 years ago, 28-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Travis, I have *had to add* support for blanks in LPub, because so many kids expect to be able to use them. Unfortunatly, kids won't read the spec, they will just do what comes naturally.

(...) Actually, SGI released OpenGL in 1992, and (according to ldraw.org) James released LDraw in 1995. So OpenGL predates LDraw by 3 years. (...) Good point. You are correct that -y is "up". I don't see that anywhere in the spec, and it's quite (...) (19 years ago, 28-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad)
